May be Canucks fans just love to dream up positivity that is not aligned with reality. This team's made the playoffs 1 time in 7 years. And that 1 time was because of COVID special brackets. Not sure what you were expecting....

? You guys want a good trade. So don't handcuffs yourselves by thinking for the other side. Horvat is not some subpar player, he is excellent value at age 27. Deal from a position of strength, demand that 2023 1st. A few teams should be in line bidding; sell to the highest bidder. Reproduce what the Duchene deal did for Colorado.

All these proposals need to include a 2023 1st. 2023 is a stacked draft.

https://www.nhl.com/video/suzuki-buries-wrist-shot/t-335529200/c-14101793 And then a few days ago his slap shot hit Chris Tanev in the head. Chris Tanev is lying down in pain and I think I see Suzuki smirking while pretending to check up on Tanev.

It really depends... Byram is exceptional talent and he will become a top 15 NHL defenseman if he stays healthy.

Slafkovsky, Dach, Suzuki, Caufield, Drouin? They also have a pretty talentless powerplay squad. Suzuki is a douche.

You think Horvat can net you that much? You'd be surprised if it's more closer to Horvat: Dobson 1 for 1.

Yes a trade like this would be acceptable return for Horvat. Although the RHD could be better.

At the current rate, we are ending up drafting #10-15 and holding onto Horvat/Miller. Just kidding, that was last season, and it was where I slammed the organization for being indecisive. (And people jump on me for saying this lol) The time to make a decision is right now. This is decisiveness. Not wait it out until decisions are made for us or too late to make any decisions. Bite the bullet, trade Horvat for a haul (not Debrusk pls I have a feeling he will suck playing elsewhere)

Well people were twisting and turning it, saying Garland alone is worth the 9th. 18 months later you see how wrong that statement is. The kid Arizona drafted is already producing at Garland's pace and hes only 19 years old. I was neutral on this trade. The upside was OEL and Garland plays well and we become a playoff team for years to come. Who knew our team would implode like this from last year onwards.

Surprised Skinner actually now making his paycheck after 2 horrible years. That Thompson contract looks like a steal by Buffalo just a few months later.

Uhhh... why would he comment on something he cant even verify himself while it's extremely insulting to a fellow NHL team? Just by that you can tell Chara is a piece of crap.

That defense looks worse than some AHL teams.

Uh.. so you have trouble grasping the concept of value management? Value management is part of the management's job.. If you let something at a high point (Boeser being AllStar MVP), sit there, rot until the value drops to 0. How's that not the management's fault? You need some examples? How about one close to us? Dallas saw through Dickinson as a player, didn't want to re-sign him at the cap he can get through arbitration, sells him to us for a 3rd. Same thing Minnesota, didn't see Fiala as part of their core going forward, unloads him to LA for a nice haul. Now that's value management and this organization lacks it.

Sad to see Boeser turning from AllStar MVP to having next to 0 value... This organization really sucks at value management if you view it this way. Because it is not only Boeser, so many of our guys have not been able to generate trade value even though they have the history to back it up.

The team being bad and Stillman being in the lineup are sepearte issues lol, why are you combining them? The team can be bad, but it is still their responsibility to the fans to ace their best lineup. If the lineup is flawed (Stillman) this is why I am complaining every game lol.

First you seem to be emotional talking about Stillman, no need lol. I am always onto Stillman because our defense is already bad. But we are still playing a leaky 3rd pairing Stillman/Myers? That is nonsense. Not to mention I have seen way too many comeback goals (Not Canucks comebacks, but the other way around) and Stillman is on the freaking ice. Standing there waving his stick chasing down a man while we get scored on. Btw the above is just my opinion. But fact is Stillman has played 12 games on 3rd pairing minutes and is a -9, the worst of our defensemen. Myers is -1. Speaks for itself.

Mmmm.. we really are playing Studnicka/Dries over Boeser. Not sure I'd agree with that even though Boeser has not played well. Stillman can never clear the puck is in again.

Same reason people were saying coach Green was well regarded in the league? So well regarded that hes still not hired yet nor have been heard of as a candiddate. Either people/the media makes stuff up. Or management team itself has a propaganda team that spreads these things. Im actually leaning towards the latter from all these years following different stories.

Please let this happen. We will even forget that we traded a 2nd, seriously!

NYR is definitely making a move, but they are going for Kane. I would too... Kane can drive a line by himself and have that playoff history.

Well we do have Petterson/Hughes as positives. But this is 8 years of time and 5 top 10 draft picks. So I believe any average GM could have drafted the same. Actually, any GM with 5 top 10 draft picks may have drafted better. Juries still out for Demko/Podkolzin. Most hilarious thing is CDC was absolutely flooded with Benning supporters the past 8 years though. Anything Benning does was right in the eyes of this crowd the past 8 years lol.

Stillman's in. Im expecting big things.

Bahaha... you just called Pettersson a Selke candidate last last game. A Selke candidate who gets pushed off pucks and falls to the ground pretty easily.

Are you dreaming? SJS can get like 2x1sts on the market for Meier. May be even more at TDL.
